Yesterday afternoon, my boss gave me news about a co-worker , he had killed himself. I am incredably saddened and I am mad too! He was a smart man - though troubled and life was not always in his corner, he had weathered many other bad times in his life. He had seen his fair share of heart ache -lost a spouse and a child along time ago, He lived life hard though and didn't have "faith". I am mad he took his own life. How unfair to a child of 7 he leaves behind.
Then there is the news from my beloved NOLA-underwater, under marshal law and never to be the same again for me. I am saddened by all the loss of life and property and dignity. I am praying and sending money and donating blood. These are the things I can do.
and then Life goes on.....

Lessons learned
We had a fairly mild weekend, weather was good, we stayed in for a bit and slept in on saturday morning ( after gettting up for J to go to football practice)
saturday night we went to a co-worker's mom's home for a end of summer music blowout- fun great music, my co-worker is a talented guy, so is his mom and her friends. Steven had a little too much fun with jose cuervo and endded up the night driving the porcelin bus!!
So sunday morning we didn't go to church don't tell on me! we slept in too, went to another friend's home to work on the computers and then went to pick up- kids and we went to dinner out.
We got notice from the city our #2 cougar is in code violation, so we now have to " do " something with it, we are probably just going to move it to the back yard and behind a fence so it can't be viewed from the street.
The city has our sidewalk all torn up in front of the houses on our side of the street, it seems anoying to me.
so today I am back on the grind stone and working. not even a layout done at the moment.

The Queuet mobile may be biting the big one
The Queue_t mobile may be biting the big one.
I am having a sad day in the life of the Van, it may now be time to move on, the transmission is slipping and we need to think of another vehicle solution. It is a 1998 and it has been pretty good to us, we are sure we have gotten our monies worth.
I can’t believe how much this whole thing stresses me out – the cars on the fritz just make me want to loose all my cookies. I want to have a good vehicle but things haven’t really gone our way in the car department. We don’t have a lot of debt right now but it is the little things that would make life easier. We don’t have a lot of free cash at the moment either. I am not sure how we can afford to buy anything and pay for it over the long term. This whole area just makes me weak. We are stretching our budget from end to end with no money coming in from J and T taking up her whole amount on the other, It is hard to believe we have gone for almost 18 months with D here in our house without monetary relief, now with J short changing us too, I am feeling the squeeze.
I feel bad to complain- I wish I had some magic wand to make this a better solution.

Kids off and running
Yesterday was the first day of School for HH (4th Grade) and J as a freshman!! D went this am he is a 10th grader this year.
So this morning my routine needed adjusting, I am spoiled in the summer, when the kids don't get up I can have an extra 1/2 hour to do stuff for myself. HH wanted hair done this am and J is riding to school on his new bike. D and Steven are out the door at 7:05 and then maybe I get about 20 minutes to go back downstairs get dressed and get going w/ HH so that she can be dropped at her friend's home- where they walk together from there to the elementary.
I did take HH's photo in front of the school sign , ( something we have done for the last 4 years) it is so great to be able get the date when school starts and then compare how much she has grown and changed since last year.
will try to post a photo later

Steven's famous Grand-dad mentioned here
History Soundbite By Dix Harper
When Johnny Carson died in late January, WOWT, Omaha, used some of those memories in their eulogy and on their website. And, the next day Mal talked about them with Mike Adams on the 73 stations that carry "AgriTalk." Omaha print media also printed a few of Mal's other memories and told of his appearance on "AgriTalk."
Mal Hansen was farm director on WOW, Omaha, when John Carson came to the station as a staff announcer in 1948 from the University of Nebraska. Carson already had a reputation in Iowa and Nebraska as a magician and ventriloquist. Mal remembers he was a creative hard worker who didn't always behave. He was soon well-known for his quirky humor. He ran the "Happy Ranch" program with country singer Slim Everhart. And, when WOW put WOW-TV on the air in 1949, Mal and Johnny were two radio personalities who were brave enough to work in this new thing called television.
There was no network then, so Mal had a noon farm program and an evening garden show called "In Your Own Back Yard." And, one of his innovations was the establishment of a farmer short course on television. With Iowa and Nebraska Extension people Mal conducted these short courses one hour each day for a week each January. They were very popular with farmers. In addition to announcing for Mal's programs, Carson created his own "Carson's Cellar" and his "Squirrel's Nest" shows.
One night Carson introduced the garden show and Mal began his program. The studio door opened and JohnnyMal and the camera. He went to the kitchen set, one of five side-by-side in the studio, and started dropping pots and pans to floor, cursing loudly. Mal recalled he lost it and didn't know what to do. JohnnyMal. I set the clock ahead ten minutes. You're not on the air yet." Mal said he had a "helluva" time settling down when he actually went on! crossed right between started laughing and said, "It's okay
Mal remembers when Omaha officials were concerned about all the pigeons on the Douglass County Courthouse. Carson went up on the courthouse roof to interview the pigeons! Another time he was walking down the hall after picking up his pay check when he ran into WOW manager Frank Fogerty. Johnny said, "Frank, you want to see a joke?" Frank said, "Sure." Johnny showed him his check.
June 18, 1951, was Mal's 5th anniversary as farm director on WOW. He still has the recording of the program Johnny Carson wrote and narrated to commemorate, tongue-in-cheek, the anniversary. In that familiar voice you hear "This is Johnny Carson with the saga of a boy farm director, born in Dixon, Iowa...a son named Malvin." Then, sounding astonished, "MALVIN???" Johnny claimed Mal's first words were "hogs up ten, corn down..." And his first love at 16 (SOUND of "Moo") was "a cow named Bessie."
Great memories of pioneer farm broadcaster Mal Hansen who's nearly 89 years old

if this is the proper netiquette but I will try to track back
Nope I didn't manage that very well. so instead here is the perma link to Michelle at scrapablity on her entry is on comments on comments and also adressed by Angie Peterson Here
Both entrys are thoughtful and insightful addressing the need for comments on our blogs. Most of the time I just go on about my business and don't really mind that I am not an A-lister and not really too linked out there. Some times I get one comment or two and I really like that alot!
But you know I really just like having fun on a web page, It is definately a way for me to get my thoughts and feelings and fun things like a few layouts out there for my little world to see. So I just like the freedom of choise I have to post what ever trips my trigger.
Instead I will continue to read and post and try to link to those gals I really get a kick out of. And comment and thank them accordingly. Then I will link my little blog to theirs too and have a link back?!?! maybe that will be the best track back I can do.

Well, the downunder scrappers have a new game to play. It should be called procastination, but here it is -
Via Ngaire, who got it from Kathryn -

top ten results
The play Tamara is not the conventional modern theatrics spectacle with one ...Tamara is postmodern theater performed in a mansion with a dozen (or so) well I never knew I was a play!
To Write on Tamara ? covers a span of several years, and Tamara is not at the heart of all of it. Other experiences, including dorm life, Manuel's success .. Iam note sure what is being written about me at all.
tamara is also a vertical relative work enthusiast with nearly 600 vertical ...tamara is in the soup tamara mello's "tortilla soup" opens in august .. Hmmmn didn't know i was soup either, these are at least interesting
As a tag for the journal TAMARA, is the "stories we chase from room to room inthe mansion of organization science." We seek an interview with John Krizanc I like the fact that there might be a sort of scrapping reference here

I am loving this picture function on Blogger!!
wow I like it even better than the blogger bot that they were using before. so I am going to post a few more photos.
working on the bathroom??
This is the ongoing saga of a bathroom ( master )
This is my Karma advertising at Mohawk.
everytime I have opened any type of magazine with style or focused on remodleing or bath, this ad jumps out at me. And we are working to some form of this shower, it will fall to me to do the tile and I for one am up for this challenge!! bring it on !!!
Steven has managed to re-route the water and the gas in prep of this chore. It has been a slow and painful 3 years since we first decided to really tackle this project... at first we really didn't think outside the box with this project, the bathroom is in such a way and has been this way for the life of the house that it was very difficult to think of a different configuration. Of course there is the matter of me being spoiled by having a private space even if it is not in great shape, I hate sharing my bathroom with just anyone LOL. So the thought of having to sacrifice my privacy and use the " kids Bathroom" just sucks, but at some point I will have to for at least a little while ( my hope is a few days tops) -- but there is still lots to be done, we have to actually take out concrete in the basement floor in order to get a drain in place for bath and shower and we are moving the toilet to another spot too, that will me re-routing its drainage too, though in the end I think we will be very happy with the out come.
We will have a seperate private toilet space and and double vanity , a jetted tub I hope and a seperate shower with some look of the above.
So a new wall is up as of last week and today one of the vanities and the sink is in place they are working on conecting it to the water too!! So maybe we will have a place to wash up faces and teeth. Steven and D are back there working, Steven trying to explain to D the whys of what he wants the outcome to be. YEAH !!

a little rant
Do you know how much it is going to cost me to send the Kids to school, and we are just talking registation at the moment and fines ( both boys incured) 165 for D and 130 for J, since they are both in high school now!!
They both managed to trash at least one book each last year! J's was a 8.00$ fine and D's a 60.00$ one and a 20.00$ one these guys think there are no consequences- I say fooy to that. J's fees are high as this is his 1st year and he wants to take wood shop 65$ for that activity, yikes, then there is the little nagging thing called the car.... as D is going to be 15 tommorrow we are already anticipating this I say yikes again.
to add to all this ex-himself is looking to go bankrupt and has not paid me support for more than a month now, we are seriously in arears and it is very tough to come up with this money to make all this happen!!! !
he has managed to pay me 150 of 350 he owes me for june and none for the month of july. So we sat down all the kids and told them - belt tightening was happening and we would only be able to do things that don't take alot of our resources, we must meet the mortgage too.... this is really a hard time. I have to vent one other item as well- we have had D for more than a year now, and that support to ex-herself certainly has not been reduced either- it would help ease the belt tightening if something would just give, but lord help us - neither thinks it matters much.
I will say here though I want to thank God for all that I have in terms of blessings- the kids, and all the good things in my life, especially Steven, he is my rock through hard times. Without faith I would have nothing, With Him all things are possible. Knock and a door shall be opened for you. Praise him from whom all blessings flow.
